Fall Comfort Foods: Try These Delectable Mac and Cheese Donuts in Massachusetts
Hmmmm. I love donuts and macaroni and cheese. I mean, who doesn't? My guess is it's a pretty small percentage, considering both are two of the greatest things on the planet. But creating one culinary delight with scrumptious mac and cheese and a homemade donut? Like I said, Hmmmm.
If you're up for finding out if this combo works, then plug in the hip and hot Assembly Row section of Somerville, and you just may get a chance to grab one if they're not already sold out for that day. This leads me to believe this combo is a winner. Civility Social House is the name of the restaurant that Boston Chefs says is the latest creative hot spot where those donuts sell out a lot.
A colleague asked me when we can take that extra-long lunch and go try these mac and cheese donuts for ourselves, so let's get to how these are made.
Chef Damian told WBZ NewsRadio that he first forms and hand-cuts these mac and cheese-filled donuts, then breads them with panko and fries them up to that delicious golden brown so they have a crispy texture. After that, he sprinkles a bit of salt over each donut before pouring his own creamy cheese sauce with bacon and scallions over the masterpiece. The cheesy concoction is then put in a skillet with chipotle barbecue sauce.
